Seems to be rlecutant to work, do you know how to make a cron job ?

I put a file  in  /etc/cron.hourly

In the file, I put nothing but the command (for test purposes) :

"gedit /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature"

But it doesn't work, gedit doesn't starts as expected from
the /etc/crontab file. :o(

I made sure that my file (which I called "temp_log" was executable.

But still, doesn't work.

I will try restarting cron.
